The supermarket collapsed,The cashier was killed, and the heavy snow became the culprit.
Recently, heavy snow has spread across the country, and the frequent collapse of houses is worrying, either due to long-term neglect of maintenance and resulting in structural aging, or hidden dangers in building structure design.
Under the heavy pressure of heavy snowfall, the hidden risks exploded in an instant. The collapse of the house brought not only the loss of property, but also the tragedy of taking away life repeatedly.
On February 21, the tragedy in Wanhe Town, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, occurred again, with the tragic death of a resident and the destruction of houses, which reminded us that we must deeply reflect on the prevention of such disasters.
In the newly released live video, the scene frozen in the camera is that a supermarket has suffered an unfortunate collapse, although there is still a sign on the wall for the year-end clearance, revealing a hint of the year-end ** atmosphere.
It was about 8 o'clock in the morning, and due to the heavy snowfall, there were few customers in the supermarket who did not form a ** group, but the staff were still sticking to their posts. Witnesses and rescuers arrived quickly to witness this sudden emergency.
According to the account of the sharer, the tragedy occurred in the cashier section of the supermarket, and the person involved was a close associate of the boss, a young female cashier, who was only 29 years old.
Sadly, she suffered a sudden collapse of a building at work and was crushed on her head. Emergency responders rushed her to the town's hospital for full treatment, however, unfortunately, her life could not be saved.
The supermarket's ingenuity stems from the owner's innovative upgrade of the old site, which is housed in a sturdy steel structure on the first floor, which has been transformed only by adding walls and steel roof frames.
In just five years since its proud opening in 2019, it has become a new landmark for shopping in the community.
The ** in front of you reveals the spectacular scale of this supermarket, and the width of the façade walls alone indicates that it has at least a floor area of several hundred square meters. As a building remodeled from a steel structure, its large body hides structural safety considerations.
Unfortunately, insiders revealed that this is actually a safety hazard - a dilapidated building that has not been fully renovated, and only a steel structure has been installed and then hurriedly opened. A snowstorm turned into a tragedy that claimed innocent lives.
In the CCTV news on February 21, an unfortunate news was reported: at about 10:10 a.m. that day, Shennong Supermarket in Wanhe Town, Suizhou County, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, suffered heavy snowfall, and the supermarket roof unfortunately collapsed.
CCTV News reported on a supermarket collapse, which attracted widespread public attention. Although it was not the house that collapsed, but only the roof of the supermarket, this does not mean that the safety of the supermarket is guaranteed.
In fact, this supermarket is a real dilapidated building, which collapsed due to the dual causes of bad weather and dilapidated buildings. There are huge safety hazards in dilapidated houses in bad weather, which is the reason why CCTV News reported this news.
Such steel structure buildings are very common in rural areas, most of them are temporary sheds, with simple support structures, covered with iron sheets, and no safety assessment and pressure calculation, which has great potential safety hazards.
Such a building may be fine in normal weather, but in bad weather such as heavy snow and wind, safety accidents can occur at any time. Therefore, we need to increase the supervision of this kind of individual remodeling, although it may add some costs.
After all, such an investment is worth it compared to the fact that human lives are at stake. If the boss in this collapse has to bear more damage than he can afford, then the family may face a collapse.
Moreover, not only the supermarket owner, but also the families of the victims will be affected. Although such accidents are not all natural disasters, they are also man-made disasters that we cannot ignore.
